NATO countries have kicked off Arctic military exercise named ‘Arctic Challenge 2023’ with a pledge to defend their newest member, Finland, which is hosting its first joint training since becoming part of the NATO in April.
Nearly 1,000 allied forces from Norway, the United Kingdom and the United States - as well as NATO applicant Sweden - have joined approximately 6,500 Finnish troops and some 1,000 vehicles for exercises this week, which mark Finland’s biggest modern-time land-force drill above the Arctic Circle.
While this is not a NATO event, the alliance will be participating along with 14 different countries.
The Arctic Challenge exercise was launched in 2013 and is held every second year.
The ACE is part of the NORDEFCO cooperation between Finland, Norway, Sweden, and Denmark.
This major Nordic exercise started as a collaboration launched in 2008 called Cross Border Training.

The UK won't be "choosing between" the US and the EU, according to the prime minister, when asked if he would consider resetting European relations to appease Donald Trump. Instead, Keir Starmer emphasised that both relations are important to the UK. During the press conference in Brussels, NATO Chief Mark Rutte criticised the tariff dispute between NATO members US and Canada, stating "that is clearly not what NATO is about". Report by Faragt.

Trump’s proposal to purchase Greenland, emphasizing that the Arctic territory belongs to its people. Trump's plan to acquire Greenland—reigniting his 2019 suggestion—has been met with strong opposition from Greenland’s pro-independence leader, Mute Bourup Egede, who reiterated that the island’s future should be determined by Greenlanders alone. Frederiksen backed Egede's stance, asserting that while Denmark values its relationship with the U.S., Greenland's self-determination and sovereignty are non-negotiable.
